Pride Agenda Bolstered By Siena Poll

Empire State Pride Agenda Executive Director is happy with what he sees as a growing trend of support for marriage equality, further bolstered by today’s Siena poll.

“Today’s Siena poll results are yet another indication of ever-increasing support in New York for allowing loving, committed same-sex couples to marry. State legislators who have not supported marriage equality in the past should take note that New Yorkers – including nearly two thirds of suburban voters and a majority of upstate and Catholic voters – clearly believe in fairness and equality for their LGBT family, friends, neighbors and colleagues,” Ross Levi said.

According to the poll, 58% of New Yorkers support marriage for same-sex couples and only 36% oppose it.
